Lesson Introduction: Exploring SEN Clothing

Welcome to Our Class!

Good morning/afternoon everyone! Today, we are diving into an exciting and important topic: SEN Clothing—clothes designed specifically for people with Special Educational Needs. Before we begin, I want you to take a moment and think about your favourite outfit. What makes it so special? Is it the colour, the comfort, or maybe the memories attached to it?

Icebreaker Activity: The Clothing Show-and-Tell

Instructions:

  1. Bring in a Piece of Clothing: I’d like each of you to bring a piece of clothing that you love or feel represents you. It could be anything — a favourite t-shirt, a cosy jumper, or even a pair of shoes.

  2. Share Your Thoughts: Once everyone has their clothing item, we’ll have a quick “Show-and-Tell” session where you’ll share:

    • Why you chose this item.
    • What makes it special to you.
    • How it might differ if it were designed for someone with SEN needs.

Purpose of the Activity:

This activity will help us understand the significance of clothing in our everyday lives and how it can be both a source of comfort and expression. As we move through the lesson, think about the additional considerations that may need to be taken into account when designing clothing for individuals with Special Educational Needs.

Transition into the Lesson

Now that we’ve shared a piece of ourselves through our clothing, let’s explore how fashion can be inclusive. We’ll look at the various aspects of SEN clothing—design, function, and the importance of comfort—in helping individuals express themselves confidently.
